BustleHQ is a startup SaaS web application for relief teachers. Iām one of three founding members and work on the frontend design and development.
Case study available upon request
The design of the create booking process has been highly iterative and improvised. Early on, bookings were bound to a predefined list of teachers. Their order and status managed in a different area of the app.
Following a phase of testing, the BustleHQ team realised that lists were only a starting point. We moved to using the lists to pre-fill a booking. The creator can then move teachers around as needed.
Only new features identified during our testing phase entered development. The team's original approach to bookings was set-and-forget. The assumption was that the booking creator is only concerned with the result. Whilst true, we realised that visibility on the booking progress is important. We added visuals on which teachers have declined or not yet responded.
The most enjoyable part of my work on BustleHQ to date is seeing the product move from idea to MVP. Overseeing the process from wireframes, to prototype to production application. I love this process.
